Dust Memories Book

transfer, watercolor, acrylic, collage, and ink on paper

Dust Memories is a series of drawings, paintings, and collages attempting to communicate the ambiguous and anxious moments of a deployment with the 1244th Transportation Company in support of combat operations in Iraq. This book is conceived as a repeating cycle, which is a metaphor for my continually repeating thoughts of the experience, as well as representing the reality that this journey is still being carried out today by soldiers in Iraq.
